An Indian firm is terminating a longstanding contract to make uniforms for the Israeli police, telling AFP that it had made a “moral decision” in light of the ongoing bombardment in Gaza.

Maryan Apparel in the southern state of Kerala said it had supplied around 100,000 uniforms to Israel’s police force for every year since 2015.

“It is a moral decision,” the company’s managing director Thomas Olickal told AFP.

Olickal said in a Wednesday statement that a strike on a hospital and the “loss of thousands of innocent lives” in the ongoing conflict had prompted the decision.

“We are okay resuming business with them after peace is restored,” added Olickal, who employs around 1,500 people at his firm.
